However, The Miz stirred the pot and got Kane and Orton to admit that they think Bryan is a little crazy, causing the former American Dragon to breathe verbal fire again. Kane eventually left out of frustration, which led Teddy Long to book Bryan & Orton vs. Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins of The Shield in the main event of the evening.
- Curtis Axel pinned Chris Jericho with a roll up when Jericho was distracted by CM Punk's entrance music. After the match, Jericho laid out Axel.

- Alberto Del Rio vs. Heath Slater went to a no contest when the whole of 3MB ambushed Del Rio before the match started.
